The political crisis in Myanmar following the 2021 military coup prompted ASEAN to adopt the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) as a framework for conflict resolution. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus at the 2023 ASEAN Summit by identifying the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation in addressing the Myanmar crisis. This research employs a qualitative explanatory approach using document analysis of official ASEAN documents, scholarly articles, reports from international organizations, and other relevant sources. The analysis is based on Robert O. Keohane's Institutional Liberalism Theory and supported by Stephen D. Krasner's International Regime concept. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus was supported by the strengthening of ASEAN's institutional mechanisms through the Office of the Special Envoy on Myanmar, quiet diplomacy, the AHA Centre, and the ASEAN Troika. However, its implementation was constrained by the Myanmar military junta's lack of commitment, limited access to conflicting parties, as well as ASEAN's principles of non-interference and consensus-based decision-making. These findings suggest that strengthening ASEAN's institutional capacity alone has not been sufficient to ensure the effective implementation of the Five-Point Consensus in resolving the Myanmar crisis.
